FRFFT: Series Two: Redone!

Oh yes - Nitro-Gene hasnt fought yet:

Nitro-Gene 5.0 vs. Armoured Wedgie
Yay! Lewis first battle, but Im not going to take it easy on you anyway :proud: We are similar in a number of things, we both have flippers (mine has a LOT more power than his, but he has a LOT more flips than me) we both are 4 wheel drive and go at 20mph (but I have a lower centre of mass, and this will make me more stable, harder to flip and easier to control) and we have powerful drives run at 36V (but my S28-400 Mags produce 12hp compared to the 7hp his Bosch 750s produce).

Tactics simple - dodge to his sides (shouldnt be too tricky with my better, more stable control) and shove him to the edge and throw him out - with one flip. If he flips me, I can run inverted.
For this fight, use the flipper only for self-righting and for OOTAing when near the wall.

Good luck Lewis :wink:

Against Nitro-Gene Armoured Wedgie will flip him once, then leave him unless he self-rights, in which case flip him again. I should get under him due to my wedge shape. I dont know why Paul thinks hes more stable, and besides bigger motors doesnt mean hell push me, its more about traction. I win in any battle that lasts anyway, so stay away from the sides of the arena, plus the tyres at my sides will make it hard for him to flip me very far anyway unless he gets right underneath, which is impoissble as his front is completely flat.

Good luck Paul :)

Dont give up, ELLIOT! Only four people have written a battle this year, and you are one of them. So keep up the good work during this frustrating boredom...

Agreed with Andy, I would be interested in another battle as well. :)

While Im here Paul, Id like to know where you expect Lewis to get seven horsepower from if hes running two 36v Bosches...

Tornado had 2 x Bosch 750s at 36V, and they produced 7hp.

At peak, probably. :P

Exactly, peak power and what a motor will actually do under battle conditions are rather different things, as Ive already told you :P

Welcome to FRFFT: Series Two: Heat B! Last time:

Little Flipper 3 beat Tidal Wave on a Judges Decision
Blizzard pushed Doom down the pit
BIACS-IS won on a Judges Decision against 2nd Revenge of Black Death
And The Red Knight pulverised Ziggy and went into the next round!

First, we have another featherweight battle between No 1 Seed Featherweight Champion Deadly Lampshade and newcomer, Isolation

From England, Isolation!

Shaped like Killerhurtz from Robot Wars, this robot entered by Joey has a tail on the back with a hammer end, allowing it to spin around and whack its opponents. Its invertible, but with only 2XD, it wont win any pushing battles.

From Wales, Deadly Lampshade!

In Series One, it was outdone by Little Hitter in the final, but in EVO, it snatched away the title to be the champion. Daniel hasnt changed it much, but it still has no self-righting mechanism!

Roboteers, stand by!

3-2-1: Activate!

Deadly Lampshade spins up to full speed and waits for Isolation to approach it. Isolation charges straight ahead...OH! Its spun away by Deadly Lampshade, but regains its bearings and starts to spin around on the spot. The rear hammer can be used to whack robots, but Deadly Lampshade isnt fazed and approaches again. OHH! Isolation spun to one side again and I think the hammer is hanging off! Daniel wants to hold onto that title and SMACKS Isolation again! Isolation spun against the angle grinder, the hammer has gone! Look, its behind the angle grinder, so Isolation now weaponless! Joey wont give in and charges Daniel again. OHH! This time, a mighty gash in the front plow-style design of Isolation! Joey has taken a beating, but Isolation is still moving! It presses the pit release button, and OH! Almost into the pit, I think its trying to lure Deadly Lampshade to the edge! Daniel isnt buying it, and he waits in the centre of the arena. If it goes to the judges, I think Deadly Lampshade will win. Deadly Lampshade moves in...OHH! HA-HA! It spun Isolation into the pit! Joeys tactics didnt work, and he is out of the featherweight competition!

Cease!

Isolation in the pit.
Deadly Lampshade goes into the next round!

Now, for the middleweight battle. Hazard, the No 1 Seed after winning Series One, takes in a newcomer, Complete Control!

From California in the USA, Hazard!

Entered by Samuel, Hazard didnt do too well in EVO, but in Series One, it claimed the title of Middleweight Champion. The spinning tool bar on top can rip robots to pieces. But if its flipped, it has no srimech.

From Canada, Complete Control!

Paul Cuomo and Derek Young entered Complete Control. A box with lifting forks and a hammer, Complete Control could well control this fight. But last time it took on Hazard, the Battlebots arena must have taken ages to clean up!:proud:

Roboteers, stand by!

3-2-1: Activate!

Hazards tool bar is very dangerous, so Complete Control will want to be careful and NOT MAKE history repeat itself! But Hazard got on the side there, and sparks fly! Complete Control gets away, but Samuel and Tony Buchinani give chase! Paul hits the pit release button...OUCH! Hazard came in and BUCKLED one of the front forks! Complete Control tries to get away, but Hazard gives chase. It turns around to face Hazard and OHH! Sparks fly, and one of the forks is hanging limp now! Weve seen the damage Hazard can do before...AND now a gash down the side of Complete Control! Hazard is on top, but Complete Control charges and GETS under...OHHH! In its attempt to get under, it lifted a skirt into the tool bar and it SNAGGED its own weapon, Hazard! What a comeback by Complete Control! But before that, the fork was ripped off! It whacks Hazard on the top with the hammer, but Hazard pushes it, pushes it onto the flame pit! Complete Control gets under again and LIFTS Hazard up! Oh dear, Samuel, after being on top, looks very concerned now! Its pinned Hazard down with the hammer, Complete Control and can now carry it wherever it wants to...OVER to the pit! Hazard...OH! Into the pit! The Reigning Middleweight champion is out! What a shock! Samuel lowers his controls and goes to shake hands with Paul. Complete Control took a right battering, but turned it around at the end!

Cease!

Hazard took itself out!
Complete Control is the winner!

Im down in the pits with Noel Sharkey, one of the judges. Hes given me the scordcard up until the point Hazard was pitted

Hazard: S: 2 C: 2 D: 3 A: 3 Total: 10

Complete Control: S: 1 C: 2 D: 1 A: 2 Total: 6

Not too close, you can see.

Next up, The Hurting, the reignining Heavyweight Champion takes on Axeon 3.0 and newcomers Cause and Effect and Vertigo go head to head!

Simple tactics against Cause and Effect, just try and get around nto the side to ram it around and flip it everywhere. Hopefully get it down the pit or over the fence.

Good luck Daniel :)

Welcome back! Last time, Complete Control turned the battle around to pit Hazard and Deadly Lampshade knocked Isolation into submission!

Next up, The Hurting, the reigning Heavyweight Champion goes up against AJs new robot, Axeon 3.0

From England, The Hurting

The Hurting has beaten robots such as Absolution and Nitro-Gene 5.0 in the past. It hasnt changed: A petrol driven spinning disc that in turn provides kinetic energy for the rear flipper. Joey still wants to hold onto the title!

From England, Axeon 3.0!

A box wedge armed with a powerful Terrorhurtz-style pneumatic axe! It has magnets to keep it to the arena floor when the axe is fired. But its new, and inexperienced to FRFFT!

Roboteers, stand by!

3-2-1: Activate!

The Hurtings disc has caused so much damage in the past, but Axeon charges in straight away and SPARKS fly! The disc connects with the Hardox armour, but AJ fires the axe, but The Hurting backs away to spin the disc up again! AJ gives chase, but The Hurting beats him to it. OH! The disc connects with the armour and more sparks fly! Axeons axe SMACKS onto the top of The Hurting, but no visible damage so far. Axeon backs away and The Hurting tries to chase it down, but Axeon turns around and The Hurting CATCHES it on the side! A gash down the side of Axeon, but that doesnt faze it. The Hurting turns around to use the flipper, but the disc has not produced enough energy, so Axeon is lifted up, but not over. The magnets have done their job so far, but OHH! The Hurting turns around to use the disc again and RIPS into the Hardox. Axeons axe comes down and JAMS into The Hurtings top armour. Sparks fly, but Axeon pushes The Hurting away, over the flames! The Hurting has a petrol engine which powers the disc, but The Hurting pulls Axeon away. A tug of war, it would seem. The Hurtings disc makes a few scratches on the armour, but nothing much. Now, IT pulls Axeon along and backs into the pit release button. The axe frees itself, and Axeon gets away to the centre of the arena. The Hurting follows and RAMS Axeon 3.0! OUCH! The front has a gash in it now. Joey wants that title badly! AJ fires the axe and SMACKS into the floor! OH! Its got itself stuck. The Hurting comes in with the disc and OUCH! The axe head split off! OH! Axeon backs away, only to be cornered by The Hurting in the CPZ and OH! The front armour has been buckled back slightly. Joey backs away, and Axeon swings its useless axe MADLY. It tries to get around the side of The Hurting and does so, but cant get under because of the buckled wedge. The last ten seconds count down. Sparks fly as the disc connects with the Hardox. Chips of armour litter the arena, but Axeon is still whacking away. Has it done enough, though?

Cease!

What a fight. The judges will have to decide!

Axeon 3.0: S: 2 C: 2 D: 2 A: 3 Total: 9

The Hurting: S: 3 C: 2 D: 3 A: 3 Total: 11

Axeon 3.0 is axed!
The Hurting goes through!

Next up, Cause and Effect and Vertigo go head to head in the Superheavyweight round!

See you then :)
